Day Four in London… We woke up a bit earlier and made it off to the sights at a decent time. We first took a stroll down London Bridge and got a view of the Tower Bridge. Did you know that this London Bridge has only been around since the 1960’s? The older one was bought and is in Arizona! We then walked over to the Tower Bridge and took a tour, went up to the top and shot some photos of the city.

Afterwards, we walked over to the Tower of London… AMAZING. I think that it was so cool because of the history. We got a short tour from a Yeomen of the Guard (Beefeater). We then did the audio tour around Bloody Tour, the Crown Jewels (WOW!) and some other places. We ate lunch, finished postcards and went into the White Tower or the original London Tower Palace. It was very neat and had a great exhibit. All of the Kings were represented by their suits of armor very well displayed. It was really cool.

We found the site were Anne Boleyn and other nobles were beheaded and where some of Henry VIII’s wives were buried. We saw Traitor’s Gate where they were all brought in… and we saw some of the Queen’s guards doing their pomp and circumstance thing. We then rested in a Starbucks, caught up on email and headed back to the flat. Off to dinner…
